Week 1: 15 touches; recent weeks: ~6–8 carries; efficiency up; early-season cramps and personal circumstances cited; Shanahan has never historically reduced CMC's role.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

CMC's workload is down from 2025 levels (20–25 touches expected vs. current reality), but community splits on cause: some cite early-season cramps (Week 1), baby-related absences, or Shanahan's playoff load management; others note his efficiency is strong and he remains the clear bellcow. CMC owners resist any narrative of reduced usage; multiple comments joke about CMC's legal invincibility and injury resistance. One comment notes he had 15 touches in Week 1 (when Black got 14), but carries have stabilized around 6–8 per game since. Potential shift to wideback role with Deebo out is speculative.
